The Holy Empire of Romanos Republic is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its daily referendums, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 231 million Romanosians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.1%.

The very strong Romanosian economy, worth 15.5 trillion Rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 67,296 Rubles, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Midnight raids drag couples from their homes in the name of decency, serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk, goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, and five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Romanos Republic's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Romanos Republic is ranked 263,264^th in the world and 1,303^rd in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 222.42 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
